Dippity Doo? Yes I remember the disgusting crap my mother used to put in my hair to ATTEMPT to make if curl! Gross! 1964. I think I'm old enough! 
As far as annexing anyones country, I think we have done that enough. I think the British still outdo us in that realm but, we are trying our best to be second runner up! LOL Good night DF! Pleasant dreams!

...I think the outsourcing is of 'labor', not the technology itself...Bill Gates is building a plant now, he's not outsourcing the technology, but the labor in creating/assembling/shipping and so on, but it's Microsoft technology...my sister-in-law is a teacher, so I know where you're coming from there, but there are a lot of variables that go into this...there are more schoolage children than ever before (8 more will be in 5 years or so...lol), teachers wages are ridiculously low (unless you're a superintendant in Chicago $400,000 per annum, in the newpaper today, front page)...and yes, we do have some of the most respected colleges/universities in the world here in America, and the students pay a heavy price for that, as professors don't come cheap...a lot of the military funding would be great in this area...no doubt, we can do better!!...

...you are absolutely correct...ya know, it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit to slash military spending, bring everyone home (whether in conflict or not) and infuse the savings back into us...I don't even want to get going on the pharmacuticals, you wanna talk about an industry in need of reform???...this is definately one arena that I wish we could clean up, it is abusrd and perposterous...oh, we have our faults, no doubt about it, but I don't think we come close to cornering the market on it!!!...hey, here's a novel idea...why don't we all learn from each other??...all of our respective countries do something right...gee, what's the worse that could happen??

Alot of the Technology jobs are outsourced, to forgien countries...

Edcation.. they sent my cousin to Cuba,,, Yes  CUBA.. to finish her masteres degree and write a full article, on their education system there.. because it is so much better than the USA's... wierd huh... who would have thought

Sacrifices,, I also meant as Teaching,,, Many schools have no money to continue on going important educational programs..  I have 5 school teachers in my family from MN, to New mexico,  And they are all horror stories, on the size of how big the classrooms have gotten, and the  How many students just getted pushed through the educatinal system now.. because the school dont have the money or resourses any more to help all the great minds we could have..

Yes I hear you, on the issues..   Agriculture, for some countries.. But the countries that the USA needs to stay on a even trading keel with doesnt need those services from them...  Such as Canada, and now china.... 

Medial research is paid for by the hard working people, in the USA..   And unfortunatley alot of money is wasted, with meaningless gifts, and right offs for doctors, when your health insurance could be more affordable.. for the middle class.. ( I worked in the medical field for 15 years)

Here in Canada they do-not allow drug compies to advertise.. It is a medical decision for you and your docotor to discuss as in many other countries.. which  is why people can get their medications cheaper, than in the US.

I do believe that nations should help one-another out.. ect.... For world peace sake if anything.. Money, food. ect..

But do-not ever sacrifice so much that your ownn people suffer, do to greed, and corporate driven enterprises..

Well, people are gonna feel how they feel...but I do take issue that America doesn't have anything to offer anymore...

...sure we do, just not in the old coventional ways...

...how about support and the many forms it comes in
  -agriculture
  -military/protection (how many foreign cities flourish because of  our installations, and the numbers of ppl that are employed??)
  -$$ for medical research
  -space programs
  -advanced education (in all sorts of areas)
  -technology

...this is a random list off the top of my head, but in reality there are so many more...and this list is nothing to sneeze at, we're talking global ramifications if these services were no longer provided...how many small countries would be under attack if we weren't 'Big Brother'??...YES, I do believe our military is (and has been) a marketable commodity...it's HUGE business!!

...but I, as an American, more than anything, want peace, a sense of brother/sisterhood among us all...where issues like these never become issues...I don't know if that will ever happen...but I hope...
 
[Head banger] Monday, February 02, 2009 7:04:17 PM 
well, the tarp bill made me think about protectionism.   that was the real issue.

LMAO .... You guys crack me up.......

Canada is self suff also... Unfort the USA has outsourced many job, and shut down factories, that could have made and provided alot more trade with other countries... and these jobs will never be brought back.. Nor will the products they provided..  Hence part of the trading problem  the USA doesnt have anything to offer anymore.. 

I said this way back when along debate ago on this thread... china owns the USA.. I was laughed at... Didnt bother me because I knew the truth would eventually prove itself.... And now it has.

If all these other countries Like Canada and China blew the USA off.. it would deff collapse.. Which we all hope will never happen.. 

Anywase... Have a great nite..

Head banger...see what you started?? 

Wow...

All this over the TARP bill...that was the issue, correct??

DF...I kind'a like this side of you...and I'm really amazed at how passionate some of you are on these issues...whether we agree or not, I've gained a lot of respect for you all!!! 
[guidogodoy] Monday, February 02, 2009 6:14:40 PM 
Ah, senility is a sad thing. Especially when you see it unfold before your eyes.....

Just looking around the room, I can't tell you a single specific THING that was produced here in the United States. China, India, Thailand, Mexico...

We USED to dominate the auto industry. Not anymore. The only major constant that has been a true "American product" has been grains (food) and intellect. Namely, because we have always sought out the best from ALL countries and incorporated them into our own thereby turning them into "American products." Software and Silicone Valley are good examples.

Now then, I'll bow out with just one last comment. PLEASE don't strike, Canada!!! We'll do whatever you want Stephen Aboutment! LOL!!!!

The main point of this whole dialog seems to be the United States' crappy foreign policy. I myself did not know about it until I went abroad a few times and saw what others in the world thought of our foreign policy and some things we don't hear about or are spun differently back here. Now don't  ask me to go into specifics because it was many years ago and I can't remember the specifics, but I can tell you we do leave a big foot print wherever we go and it is not always friendly and fair. I can also say it was the first time I was embarassed about what our country does at times. These are countries we have good ties with, so imagine what we do to countries we don't.
Not pointing fingers, just telling it from the "other persons" point of view.
Please don't stone me! LOL
